January Meeting Featured Local Officials
Our annual VIP meeting featured mayors, county commissioners, and school board chairpersons. Our meeting was attended by two of our Ramsey County commissioners, the mayors of Falcon Heights, Little Canada, Roseville and Shoreview. Also attending were school district chairs from district 623, Roseville Area, and district 622, Maplewood, North St. Paul, Oakdale.
Members had an opportunity to discuss issues and concerns ranging from the Arden HIlls football stadium proposal to the changing demographics of our schools. These conversations were interesting and informative and no one left early.
